I look forward to reading your analysis Stormin' Norman. That does sound interesting, but let me be the first to say, not it. I look forward to reading your analysis Stormin’ Norman.

If you compare older pitchers to newer pitchers, the older pitchers seem to have used more of their entire body when pitching (more hip rotation, greater leg kicks, etc.) compared to today's pitchers that seem to rely on their arms more. I can't help but think of somebody like Kerry Wood in this argument. Even though there might be exceptions (like Mark Prior, who supposedly had amazing mechanics), at the surface this trend seems to have occurred. I welcome any evidence that supports or debunks this theory.
